Pigeon Attack!

OK - so this is NOT your typical Monday, but it has turned into one of THOSE Mondays.

I was having a lovely day until I was coming back from lunch. On my way towards York Ave, a slew of pigeons came towards my friend and I and I ended up getting slapped in the face with a wing! WTF!?!?
Of course, I yelled a few choice words, got a little grossed out, and finally just laughed it off.

No sooner do I get over this when another pigeon - or maybe it was the same one - shit on my head. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! After all the good I did yesterday, THIS is what I get.
You can’t make this shit up! How crazy. This is actually worse than the time a pigeon fell on my head on 5th Ave and 18th Street, but that’s another story for another time.

To be honest, my friend and I were laughing our asses off about it all - what else can you do?
Oh, and if I hear one more person tell me that it’s good luck, I’m going to scream.

I tried to get sent home, but I think I was laughing too hard for my bosses to think that there was any trauma.

I hope the commute home won’t be as exciting.

    HAHA holy shitty situation! that sucks! a random girl on the street was shit on by a pigeon last week, and i guess she felt the need to tell me, so she tapped me on the shoulder and put her shitty sleeve in my face exclaiming “GROSS! I JUST GOT SHIT ON BY A PIGEON! I HAD TO TELL SOMEBODY!”

    Fuck that! I refuse to believe that having feces land on you, regardless of the species of origin, is good luck. But, like the old addage says, shit happens. I hope you washed well afterwards. They say Pigeon shit has lots and lots of bacteria.

    Look at the bright side… At least it didn’t get on your 5″ heels.
